Planning in the Real World
IEEE Seminar on 'Planning in the Real World'
Abstract: This presentation will cover how electricity markets, climate change, distributed technologies and reducing electricity demand have changed the planning processes for Australia’s National Electricity Market. This will included examples of recent Powerlink innovations in load forecasting that reflect the impacts of PV, energy storage, tariff changes on future peak demand and annual energy usage. The market mechanisms for generation planning in the NEM will be outlined along with how these are driving retirements of fossil fuelled power stations an investments in renewable generation. Examples will be given of innovations in transmission planning to optimise asset replacements during times of falling peak demand will be given. Lastly, the presentation will touch on some of the expected changes to power system security and electricity markets as Australia moves to higher levels of renewable generation
